Fandom: VERONICA MARS Pairing: Mac and Dick (friendship) Author on LJ: strongly_wordedAuthor Website: none Why this must be read: Pairing Mac and Dick together, especially after the season 2 finale, seems to be the new hot thing to do. The thing I enjoy most about this fic is the unspoken memory of Beaver even as Mac and Dick end up finding things in common. Also, Dick is kind of deep, but not that deep. She has to babysit the camp kids during lunchtime on Tuesdays and Thursday. On the fourth Thursday of summer school, Dick orders twenty Happy Meals, a Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese McMeal, a salad, and a parfait because he really fucking hates eating alone, because dude, losers eat alone.
She starts to go into the evils of preservatives and globalization and blahblahblah, but Dick just points at this one girl who is doing a little happy dance with her McNuggets, and Mac shuts up and starts picking the chicken off of her California Cobb salad.(Inner) Conflict Resolution | |

Fandom: DOCTOR WHO Pairing: None, gen. Author on LJ: cadhlaAuthor Website: Tagged ficsWhy this must be read:This is an absolutely gorgeous look at Rose, Nine, and Jack during The Parting of the Ways.

( An excerpt. )The Terminus of Prayer is the middle part of the Travelogue for Exiles series, which also includes Look Upon This Sky (Rose), and Look and Remember (the Doctor and everyone he has loved). Read The Terminus of Prayer. | |

Fandom:HORATIO HORNBLOWER Pairing: Marie de Gracay/Horatio Hornblower; Horatio Hornblower/William Bush, implied Author on LJ: quietcontraryAuthor Website: NA Why this must be read:The character of Marie de Gracay has been woefully under-represented in the fiction of Hornblower fandom, considering how integral she is to the later books -- starting with "Flying Colours". This fic is, in fact, set during "Flying Colours", and is quite nearly definitive in terms of speaking to the character of this lady. quietcontrary explores not just the relationship between Hornblower and Marie, but also the friendship between Marie and William Bush and how their connection to Hornblower affects them both. I cannot recommend this story enough. Vigilances | |

Fandom: Farscape Pairing: John/Aeryn Author on LJ: moscaAuthor Website: Homoneurotica Why this must be read:This is, bar none, one of my favorite stories of ever. I always go back to it when I need that strangely perfect mixture of humor, awkwardness, and hot sex. First times are rarely easy. The sex had been interesting. Not in the, "Oh my god, I'm having sex with an alien" way that he half expected it to be the first time he got her naked, but nonetheless interesting in a way that never let him forget that what he was having sex with was an alien. There were some things that seem to be universal, or at least common to both Humans and Sebaceans. She liked kissing, for one thing. But she didn't kiss like any woman he'd ever kissed. She was like a predator, swallowing back his tongue, stealing his breath. She kissed him like she was fucking his mouth. And she loved it when he stroked her back and shoulders, but she was always begging him harder, deeper into the muscle so she could feel it. She wanted him to throw out the Southern gentleman manual and dig into her until he risked hurting her.No Easy Way Down | |

Hi! I'm lunarknightz, and I'm honored to be reccing Supernatural for Crack Van this month. I have some great stories to rec! Fandom: SUPERNATURAL Pairing: John/Mary Author on LJ: trollprincessAuthor Website: List of fic in LJ memories.Why this must be read:This story is an AU of the Supernatural pilot, in which Mary survives the fire. Mary Winchester's death is a catalyst for the series, and is hauntingly beautiful how the author creates a world that is remiscient of, but so vitally different from canon. As tough and strong as the Winchester boys are; this Mary is stronger, and that's a beautiful, beautiful thing. Straight On Til Morning | |

Fandom: VERONICA MARS Pairing: Lynn Echolls/Aaron Echolls Author on LJ: sadiekateAuthor Website: none Why this must be read: This short fic explores what might have happened when Lynn met Aaron Echolls for the first time, and how she got swept into his world. I've always been interested in Lynn, because she seemed pretty decent and caring, and yet must have chosen to make a life with Aaron before she knew what that entailed. She was 20 when she met him, not even old enough to drink.
He was 27, and not yet a household name; his star was still only on the rise, he was only on the cusp of worldwide fame, but she was starstruck nonetheless, all stammering and lowered eyes, and she could have kicked herself for being so provincial. But then he flashed her that wolfish smile, and she knew she’d somehow, unwittingly, done something right.Embalm Her Alive | |
